RE: COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information and Guidance.

As you are all well aware the COVID- 19 (Coronavirus) is now in the UK.

In light of this, we wanted to reassure anyone accessing our services that we are regularly reviewing central and local government advice and will be acting accordingly. We have a robust plan in place should the situation change. We will keep you updated on any changes via email.

We encourage everyone to review the NHS guidance available at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ and to act accordingly.

Currently all groups and courses have been cancelled, but we will regularly review this decision. Reviews will look at advice from central government, Kent County Council and any other relevant bodies. We acknowledge that we provide services for a higher risk client group, so we will be making decisions with this in mind.  The community support service will be moving to a volunteer only led, online, email and phone support service only until further notice.

PLEASE NOTE:

DUE TO STAFF FURLOUGH THE CHARITY IS NOW BEING RUN BY A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS AND THE TRUSTEES. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE TO CONTACT US AND WANT TO SUPPORT YOU THROUGH THIS TIME BUT PLEASE BE PATIENT IF IT TAKES US A LITTLE LONGER TO RESPOND.

The Trustees will continue to monitor the situation and we will inform you if we need to take any further action.
